Why teams connect Marketo and YugabyteDB

Give your team Marketo's contacts, campaigns, and engagement in YugabyteDB: query them with SQL, push audiences built from your own data back to Marketo, and skip the marketing API.

Marketo holds the people, audiences, and campaign activity that marketing runs on, but that data sits behind interfaces built for marketers, not for your internal systems. Engineers and analysts who need contacts, list membership, or engagement, for reporting, attribution, or product logic, end up writing integration code against a rate-limited API and maintaining it forever. Meanwhile the customer and usage data marketers want for targeting already lives in YugabyteDB, hard to get into campaigns without manual exports.

Stacksync mirrors Programs and Program Members, Smart Campaigns, Leads, Companies from Marketo into Tables, Indexes, Materialized Views, Schemas in YugabyteDB field by field, in real time, and in both directions. Marketing records become rows your code can query and join with product and customer data; audiences and attributes computed in YugabyteDB, from usage, orders, or account status, sync back into Marketo to drive campaigns and ads, with Marketo kept authoritative for engagement. You decide which side owns which fields, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync reference data such as pricing or entitlements from an ERP into YugabyteDB for globally distributed low-latency reads.
  • 02 Consolidate data from regional YugabyteDB clusters into one reporting store.
  • 03 Load purchase or product-usage records into Custom Objects linked to Leads so nurture campaigns branch on behavior mastered in another system.
  • 04 Add or remove Leads on Static Lists or set Program Member status from lifecycle stage computed downstream, then run a trigger Smart Campaign against them.

Common sync patterns

Keep contact attributes consistent

Lifecycle stage, subscription status, or plan maintained on either side stays current on the other, ending exports and dual data entry.

Query Marketo like a database

Contacts, leads, audiences, and campaign metrics from Marketo live in YugabyteDB as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data and reachable without touching the vendor API.

Build audiences from your own data

Segments computed in YugabyteDB from product usage, orders, or account status sync into Marketo as lists or audiences, so campaigns and ads target the people your data says they should.

What you can sync between Marketo and YugabyteDB

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Marketo objects YugabyteDB objects How this pairing syncs
Custom Objects Auxiliary data tables described via /rest/v1/customobjects.json and read/written via /rest/v1/customobjects/{apiName}.json, linked to Leads by a dedupe/link field so campaigns branch on records like purchases or subscriptions. Schemas Postgres-style namespaces in YSQL used to organize synced data. Custom Objects is specific to Marketo and Schemas to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Activities and Lead Changes Engagement feed (opens, clicks, form fills, Data Value Changes) read via GET /rest/v1/activities.json using a paging token from /rest/v1/activities/pagingtoken.json (sinceDatetime), plus Get Lead Changes and Get Deleted Leads; read-only, also available via async Bulk Activity Extract. Sequences ID generation objects relevant when syncing writes into YSQL tables. Activities and Lead Changes is specific to Marketo and Sequences to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Static Lists Named static lists; read via /rest/v1/lists.json, with Leads added or removed via POST and DELETE on /rest/v1/lists/{listId}/leads.json to control campaign membership from lifecycle logic computed downstream. CDC Streams Change streams over the storage-layer WAL consumed through logical replication or Debezium-compatible connectors. Static Lists is specific to Marketo and CDC Streams to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Programs and Program Members Marketing programs read via /rest/v1/programs.json; program membership and member status managed via /rest/v1/leads/programs/{programId}.json and the program status endpoint for acquisition and attribution reporting. Databases and Keyspaces Top-level containers for the YSQL (Postgres-style) and YCQL (Cassandra-style) APIs respectively. Programs and Program Members is specific to Marketo and Databases and Keyspaces to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Smart Campaigns Automation flows read via /rest/v1/campaigns.json and run against a set of Leads by requesting a trigger campaign with POST /rest/v1/campaigns/{id}/trigger.json, so downstream logic can push Leads into a Marketo flow. Tables Distributed SQL tables split into tablets; the primary read and write targets. Smart Campaigns is specific to Marketo and Tables to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Leads Core person records (called Leads/People), deduped on email address by default or a configured dedupe field; read via GET /rest/v1/leads.json with a filterType, upserted via POST /rest/v1/leads.json (action createOrUpdate/createOnly/updateOnly), bulk-imported via CSV through POST /bulk/v1/leads.json, and bulk-exported via /bulk/v1/leads/export/create.json. Indexes Global secondary indexes maintained transactionally alongside table writes. Leads is specific to Marketo and Indexes to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Marketo and YugabyteDB

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Marketo YugabyteDB Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Marketo for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling: Get Lead Changes and Get Lead Activities from a paging token seeded by a sinceDatetime, plus Get Deleted Leads, or Bulk Extract filtered on.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to YugabyteDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

YugabyteDB Marketo Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in YugabyteDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Native CDC from the write-ahead log via PostgreSQL logical replication or Debezium-compatible connectors.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Marketo through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Marketo: Interactive calls are capped at 100 per 20 seconds (error 606) and a maximum of 10 concurrent calls (error 615) per instance, neither increasable; a default daily quota of 50,000 calls (increasable, resets midnight CST) applies. Bulk Extract shares a 500 MB/day export quota across data types with at most 2 concurrent jobs and 10 queued.
  • YugabyteDB: No API rate limits; throughput scales with cluster nodes and tablet distribution.

How the Marketo and YugabyteDB connectors work

Marketo

Integration surface
Marketo REST API (JSON over HTTPS) for Leads, Companies, Opportunities, Custom Objects, Activities, Lists, Programs, and Campaigns, plus an asynchronous Bulk Import (leads) and Bulk Extract (leads/activities/program members/custom objects) API and an Asset REST API for emails, forms, and landing pages
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 client_credentials (2-legged): GET the Identity URL /oauth/token?grant_type=client_credentials with a Custom Service client_id and client_secret to receive an access token valid for 3600 seconds, then send it as Authorization: Bearer on each call. The instance base URL is https://{munchkinId}.mktorest.com; passing the token as an access_token query parameter is deprecated (removal July 31, 2026).
Change detection
Polling: Get Lead Changes and Get Lead Activities from a paging token seeded by a sinceDatetime, plus Get Deleted Leads, or Bulk Extract filtered on createdAt/updatedAt. Marketo's Webhooks are Smart Campaign flow-step outbound HTTP calls to a URL, not a general record-change subscription, so there is no push feed of arbitrary CRUD.
